Listening to.......

It's a term audiophiles sometimes use for a sound where it's hard to discern the different strands of a recording.

Hmm.

Meaning?

Has the straying into audio territory troubled you?

Liege and Lief  (Remastered CD, Island, 2002).

Not my favourite Fairport album.  That would be Holidays. L&L always sounds  cluttered and closed in to me.  This CD doesn't help.    Some great singing on it  though, and you  get 2 bonus tracks.

It's my least favourite of the classic first 5 (or 6).  I value, understand and appreciate its importance in the canon...but I don't love it anywhere near as much as the other 4.  Not sure I really agree about the overall sound, mind.  And, tbh, I just laugh when I hear audiophiles talk - it's mostly nonsensical to me, just something to put between the music and the mind.  By any means possible is my mantra.  Which is probably why I like 8-tracks and cassettes

R.E.M. at the BBC, an 8CD compilation which I picked up yesterday.

I'm an oddity.  An audiophile i suppose,  but  one of my  cassette players is in for service as we speak  i'm much looking  forward to its return.

That's normally pretty pricey isn't it?  Good?

Well yes  , i was really  thinking of  parts 2 etc. on vinyl.  I don't think  they ever  happened.

Part one was around for a long time online, and i think the price was lowish. Maybe it didn't sell too well.
